“Allen’s control of the timbers, from guttural moans to clarion peals,
and his ability to squeeze whimpers out of brass and hurl them
at the listener, marks him as a horn man to watch.”W. Royal Stokes-The Washington Post

“Allen’s trumpet and flugelhorn playing is marked by a playful inventiveness underscored by a slightly husky, almost vocal, tone and use of such swing trumpet strategies as smears, growls and glisses.”George Kanzler-The Star Ledger (Newark, N.J.)
